I guess the antibiotics are finally working. Alex came out sometime in the night to sleep on my bed where he usually is. And he ate his breakfast and drank a lot of water today. Thank God. He has lost of bit of weight but otherwise he looks much better. Whew!
Well, Alex came out to eat on his own for dinner tonight! YAY! But then he went right back to his little corner. :(
Maybe this round of antibiotics is working?
Thank you both for your quick reply. There has to be something else going on here besides a virus because the other cats shook it off in less than a week. I will try the hot water in the bathroom thing tonight. He doesn't seem to be dehydrated, so that is good, although he is not coming into...
My cat Alex has been sick for over 2 weeks. I had him to the vet a couple of days after he got sick and the vet gave him a shot of antibiotics that should last for 2 weeks. This started working in about a week but he only felt better for a couple of days and now he is not moving again. I can...
Sorry I have not updated but I took a nasty fall in my bedroom and I have been laying around in bed.
Alex is finally getting better. Thursday he ate his first bowl of wet food in 5 days but no water. Yesterday, he again ate and I managed to coax him into the bathtub to drink but he didn't...
Tonight I think he is just exhausted. He is sleeping on my bed but is still breathing with his mouth open sometimes. He has walked around the apartment a couple of times which is more than he has done in days. But I still have not seen him at the litter box today and he would not eat his dinner...
This morning Alex was looking pretty bad and luckily the vet was in for a couple of hours so my boyfriend brought him in for me because I couldn't walk today. I talked to the vet about 4 times today explaining what has been going on with him and what to do after he got there. She examined him...
It's not the kitten. Alex was playing with the kitten a couple of days ago. This just started. I do have food and water and litter in the same room where he is. Everything he needs is in there and the kitten will back off if Alex gives off that vibe.
Thanks for all your help ladies. It's time...
Thanks for all the info Macy's mom. Most of the things on that list are not his symptoms. I guess that I should be happy about that. Just the lethargic, not drinking or litter part. I did just give him some healthy treats and he came out and ate them. Now his is laying under the hanging blanket...
But nothing seemed to hurt him when I pushed down on his side by his belly when he was sleeping on my bed. He just looked at me like "try that again, I dare you".
